B.Floor level
Choose a location where the floor is even. It is important for
the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. If needed,
you can adjust the height of the ice maker by changing the
height of the leveling legs. See "Leveling."
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice
maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality
may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the
condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
Recommended grounding method
This appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped
with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. The
cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type
wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the
customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If
you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IM PORTANT:
• Reverse osmosis water filtration systems can be used only
with ice maker installations that have a gravity drain. A
reverse osmosis system is not recommended for ice makers
that have a drain pump installed.
• The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse
osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice
maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of
water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If
a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house
capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the
steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended.
Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to
maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you
may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also
use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for
undercounter installations.
Tools needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
• 9" level
• Adjustable wrench
NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another
person to assist you.
1. Move the ice maker to its final location.
NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the final location.
2. Place the level on top of the product to see if the ice maker is
level from front to back and side to side.
3.
4.
Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the
leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.
Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as
follows:
• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
ice maker.
• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add
stability when needed.
5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the
leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.
6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the
legs.
7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even
from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not
level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the
"Connect Water Supply" section.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Tools needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• 7/le"and V2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
• _/4"nut driver
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/_e"(4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all
state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is
provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines
when installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing
back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto
the floor causing water damage.
• Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8"(15.88 mm) inside
diameter.
• Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per
122 cm) of run or 1/4"drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of
run and must not have low points where water can settle.
• The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
• The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 11/2"(3.81 cm) to
2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a
1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the
standpipe.
• It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to
the drain inlet.

Nou"ma Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to
you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds
seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be
making them.
• You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to
fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or
the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also
make noises.
• The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high
pitched sound.
Water running over the evaporator plate may make a
splashing sound.
Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir
may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when the ice
sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.
When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water
running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a
rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
ICE MAKER USE
ce Ma s
When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the
system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing
process takes about 5 minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle at
preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice
storage bin will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT:
• If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be sure to
set the ice maker control to OFR
• The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the majority
of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are
unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.
The Ice Making Process
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the
water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected.
This produces a sheet of ice with a low mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is
released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the
sheet into individual cubes.
3.
4.
The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after
each freezing cycle.
Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
9
5=
Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice
maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is
needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will
occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the
amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher
operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.
1. To start ice production, press ON.
2. To stop ice maker operation, press and hold OFR

NOTES:
• Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not shut off power to
the ice maker.
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first batch produced.
Acceler Ice Mode
To start the Accler Ice production cycle, press the Acceler Ice
button while the ice maker is on. The ice maker will then produce
a greater amount of ice in a 24-hour period. This cycle should be
selected when you have an upcoming need for a larger amount of
ice and the ice bin is low or empty.
Cleaning Needed Status Light
The Cleaning Needed Status light will help you know when it is
time to clean your ice maker. The light will change from green to
yellow. This tells you it is almost time to clean your ice maker. It is
recommended that you clean the ice maker when the status light
changes to red OR ice production decreases significantly. To
clean your ice maker, see "Ice Maker System" in the "Cleaning"
section.
Service Light
The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service
light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service
light turns on again, call for service.
ICE MAKER CARE
The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be
cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency
and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the
"Ice Maker System" and the "Condenser" sections.
Exterior Surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water
and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good
household appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain the
finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they
may scratch the finish.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on
stainless steel surfaces.
Ice Maker System
Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle
will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system.
Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale
buildup. How often you need to clean the system depends upon
how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal.
(4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as
every 6 months.
NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker
cleaner. To purchase cleaner please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME e.
1. Push the selector switch to OFE
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin.
Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan
located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to
drain completely.
4. Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain
cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will
have either thin ice or no ice.
5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle
before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL)
bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle
twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.

8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove the drain cap
from the water pan. Look for any cleaning solution left in the
water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the water pan, you
should run the clean cycle again. Be sure to replace the drain
cap securely on the water pan. If the drain cap is loose, water
will empty from the water pan and you will have either thin ice
or no ice.
NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require repeated cleaning with
a fresh quantity of cleaning solution.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your ice maker will not operate
Is there ice between the evaporator plate and the cutting
grid? Check that the ice maker is level. See "Leveling." If the
ice maker is level, and the problem persists, run a cleaning
cycle. See "Cleaning."
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the power cord plugged in? Plug intoa grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Is the control set to ON? Be sure that the control is set to
ON.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the room temperature cooler than normal? Room
temperature must be above 55°F (13°C). Otherwise, bin
thermostat may sense cold room temperature and shut off
even though the bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart
once it does shut off.
• Does the green light come on when the Clean button is
pushed? The ice maker is receiving power but may need
cleaning. See "Cleaning."
• Does the ice maker have a drain pump? Ifthere was a large
amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes
for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin,
check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.
Ice maker seems noisy
• Is water being circulated through the ice maker? This is
normal operation. Water is added once per ice-making cycle.
• Is the water in the reservoir overflowing? This is normal.
This overflow helps to purge minerals that were removed from
the water during the ice making process.
• Is there a "whooshing" sound? Check the following things:
• Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned
on.
• Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain
pan pump is securely attached to the water pan.
Ice maker runs but produces no ice
• Is the control set to ON? Be sure that the control isset to
ON.
• Is the water supply connected? Make sure the water supply
is properly connected and turned on.
• Is the drain cap securely in place? If the drain cap is loose,
water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either
thin ice or no ice. Tighten the drain cap.
• Is there debris in the drain tube? Clean the drain tube.
• Is there a kink in the drain line? Be sure that there are no
kinks in the line.
• Is the service light flashing on and off continually? Call for
service.
ice maker runs but produces very little ice
• Is the room temperature hotter than normal? Room
temperatures of more than 90°F (32°C) will normally reduce
ice production.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
• Is the condenser dirty? Dirt or lint may be blocking the
airflow through the condenser. See "Condenser" in the
"Cleaning" section.
• Is there scale buildup in the ice maker? If there is white
scale buildup inthe ice maker's water or freezing system, you
should clean the ice maker. See "Interior Components" in the
"Cleaning" section.
• Is the drain cap securely in place? If the drain cap is loose,
water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either
thin ice or no ice. Tighten the drain cap if it is loose.

Grid is not cutting ice sheets
• Is the cutter grid securely in place? Check the cutter grid
harness plug to make sure the connection is intact. See
"Interior Components" section of "Cleaning" for instructions
on cutter grid removal.
Off taste, odor or gray color in the ice
• Is there unusually high mineral content in the water
supply? The water may need to be filtered or treated.
• Is there mineral scale buildup? Clean your ice maker. See
"Ice Maker System" in the "Cleaning" section.
